Verdict
GREEK FLOWER finished first past in a barrier trial here in August and returned with a very good run behind Mickey The Steel, who then won a handicap on his next start, three weeks ago. Pilbara Gold is 0-13 and though narrowly beaten several times her best form is over further. Aurora Nova, who makes her track debut, has changed stables but produced two cracking runs at Down Royal in September before well beaten in a Curragh handicap. Ha Ha Gloria is the sixth foal of a mare who has produced five winning sprinters so is one to note on her debut.
